Studio Practice

Discipline of oil and linen

Paintings develop through successive oil glazes built upon hand-prepared supports. The practice isolates proportion, tension, and natural pigment response under changing room daylight.

Support and Surface

Ground preparation and pigment

Each piece begins on heavy unbleached Belgian linen stretched over custom cross-braced tulipwood bars. Two coats of warm rabbit-skin glue isolate the fibers before oil ground application.

Paints are hand-milled on marble slabs using cold-pressed Swedish flax oil and single-origin minerals. Thin translucent applications allow subsurface light reflectance across decades of display.

Institutional Record

Selected exhibitions and provenance

Recent presentations include solo installations at the Mercer Pavilion and survey groups at the Hudson Triennial. Museum acquisitions retain archival condition reports and documented framing specs.

Monographic documentation is bound in offset lithography with color-matched duotones. Curators and institutional researchers can review physical conservation folios and condition logs.

Studio visits and curation

Private appointments for curators, architects, and collectors are scheduled during natural daylight hours.
